Beals’ approach helps Buckeyes stay focused
From the Columbus Dispatch:
Drew Rucinski thought he knew what he and his Ohio State teammates were in for after seeing the terse message written on the dry erase board in the clubhouse on April 7.
“It said, ‘Shorts, turf shoes and no spikes,’” he said. “Everyone said, ‘Man, we’re going to be running miles and miles.’”
The night before, the Buckeyes played as if they wanted to be somewhere else in making five errors in a 12-4 loss to Miami University, a Mid-American Conference team.
First-year coach Greg Beals tore into them in the hallway before they could even stow their equipment. That lack of focus and drive, he said, was unacceptable under his watch.
But something strange played out once the players reported for practice in left field.
“Coach told the six seniors to pick sides,” Rucinski said. “I said if we were going to run that I would pick guys who are fast. Then I knew something was up when we were told to pick managers and trainers, too.”

TweetNew weight classes expected in OHSAA wrestling
From the Times Reporter:
Looks like there’s a change coming in the world of high school wrestling.
The National Federation of State High School Associations has revised the 14 weight classes with a shift upwards.
The old weight classes - 103, 112, 119, 125, 130, 135, 140, 145, 152, 160, 171, 189, 215 and 285 - all are shifting.
The low weight moves up to 106 pounds and from there it goes to 113, 120, 126, 132, 138, 145, 152, 160, 170, 182, 195, 220 and 285.
To break it down, last year there were 10 weight classes at 160 pounds or below and now there will be nine.
While the OHSAA hasn’t officially announced that it will change to meet the national guidelines, it’s expected they will.
